I usually use mod_proxy.

Below; /foo-real/ is the URI under which the normal content is available;
/foo/ is how it appears cached. Modify as appropritate.

                # Location of the cahce
                #   mkdir -p /bigspace/foo/cache
                #   chown www:www /bigspace/foo/cache
		#
                CacheRoot /bigspace/foo/cache

                # Max size in Kilobytes
                CacheSize 604800

                # Override max caching periods
                # specified in hours.
                # CacheMaxExpire        24

		# Map /foo/ into the the real location.
		#
                ProxyPass       /foo/ http://127.0.0.1/foo-real/

                # Next make sure that your proxy cannot be used
                # by third parties as a hacking/anonymizer platform.
                #
                <Directory proxy:*>
                        deny from all
                </Directory>

                <Directory proxy:http://127.0.0.1/foo-real/*>
                        allow from 127.0.0.1
                </Directory>

		DocumentRoot ....../foo-real
		<Directory ...../foo-real>
			order deny,allow
			deny from all
			allow from 127.0.0.1

			....
		</Directory>

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html  for more detail.
